Some of the first images about candles burning would be to make it burn for long. But challenge here is to start it and a particular candle.
A match
Focus sunlight with a looking glass
Spread fire from an already light candle
Drill down until ambient temperature makes it combust (destruction likely)
Launch to a star (destruction likely)
Ask a friend to light it (pray to light it, summon a fire demon to light it) (all these non-problem specifics)
Super oxygenate the room to make spontaneous combustion easier
Wait for storm in a teacup to have enough of a entropy reversal
Strike between metals to expose to sparks
Use as current resistor to fry
Move fast enough to catch fire via meteor air resistance
Apply string reactive entzyme
Use kitchen appliances like oven and microwave (samey with 2?)
Move to a desert to have better temperature and dryness
Artificially suck moisture out of the air
Declare the candle the enemy of the state and have army flamethrower it
Cause world war 3 and have it accidentally nuked
Make it a superficial symbol to inspire fame seeking individuals to arson it in quest for immortality (alexandria)
Seek open volcano and use magma heat (samey with 4?)
Use as cosmic ray detector (samey with 2?)
Lower higg field to release subatmoic forces to enable chemical reactions
Sneak into particle accelerator (samey with 21, 20, 13?)
Make a dare out of lighting it
Promise to give big amount of resources to somebody lighting it
Stick to a ligthning rod (samey with 10?)
Split the hairs of the wick small enough that they individually react even in room conditions
Split the candle into multiple parts. Plant in the various forests. Wait for a forest fire. Then regroup for one part to light the others.
Put weight on top of the wick so it (almost) melts andn then suddenly release pressure
Extend the wick so big that various firesources will accidentally spill on it
Redefine what luminicity expectations are for a candle so that it counts as light in its passive state (plans to fail?)
Go to a better light location so that it black bodies signficant radiation (samey with 2?) (plans to fail?)
Banish it into a hell dimension
Time travel it into the big bang (destruction likely)
Use blackhole spaghettification to cause friction to light it (destruction likely) (benefit unlikely)
Handmechanical friction to light it
Grow into the wick and use body metabolism to peak it above ignition
Realise there is no candle and set light=true
Discover pyrokinesis and use as practise fodder
Sonic focal point to make momentary great pressure
Electromagnetic synchronization from multiple radios to make a electromagnetic focal point
Dip in iron dust and expose to strong magnetic field to rub into ignition
Make a big taboo out of unlight candles and let bothered citizens volunteer to light it in disgust.
Use a flashlight to make it translucently shine
Apply shinebug pheromones and let the bioluminence shine
Make the candle a big cultural pride object and make people want to highlight it with stagelights constantly (samey with 2, 13,22?)
Just plain make a semidecent photography set where it is sensibly and photogenicly in light (not actual luminicy but artistic lighting)
Discover a theory of eveything where all thigns are topologies of space, then light and candle are made of the same ontological stuff so it can be accuraqtely said that the candle is light.
Pop false vacuum to make protons unstable to empower chemical reactions
Find resonant notes to make the wick do friction with its surroudnings
Locate and prove the existence of the world-branch where the candle has already been lit
Provide different gas chemical that is easier to react than with air
Pull a part of the wick away really really fast and forcefully
Fuse the candle with the earth and since something on earth is burning by the extended identification the candle is atleast partially burning
Make a magic trick out of it. Flash a picture of a burning candle to make everybody think that the candle is burning. (plans to fail?)
Wait for the wick to light as meteor collateral damage.
Wait until the deaht of the sun to ignite on fusing with sun. (samey with 5?)
Theseus ship the candle with burning parts or define the candle to contain fireparts
Make the the candle less heavy by adding balllons to it (light vs heavy contra light vs dark)
Install internal diode to turn it into a electric christmas light
Hollow out and use alternative accessible fuel that one knows to light to make it burn with alternative properties
Use entzymes to make the grease part react directly without the wick part
Educate the candle in order to enlighten it
Use mirrors to make wave cavity that increases energy from passive ambient waves (samey with 2?)
Alter ph to make the wick react
Neutron beam of sufficient intensity (it needs to be pretty intense)
~60 minutes
Eat the candle and count digestion as a kind of burning
Hold contest to light the candle
Make viral campaign of the candle so that everybody calls it “lit as f”
Tell everybody about the candle so light on it is shed
Quantum Immortality conditional suicide into worlds where all the atoms of the candle are in excited state
Find the sourcecode maker of the universe and convince them to make the candle alight (samey with pray and neo matrix?)
Antimatter fuel
Shine from radioactive elements as heat source
Nuke it (samey with 17?)
Make people believe that the survival of the world depends on the candle burning and have CIAs and KGBs of the world to deal with it
Strange matter fuel. All kinds of exotic matter fuels.
Spin it so fast that the internal stresses ignite it
Make it so big and place it upside down that it ignites from the weight of it
Make it really long that you can easily aim it to various fire sources easily
Throw it to other fire sources besides stars.
Make it really small so that tiniest energy fluctuation can make it react
Dececrate it to raise it as ununholy zombie candle that burns with hellfire
Use time travel to change history so that it got lit
Polymorph it into a firewisp
Press on it until the matter pushes sufficiently back to react (samey with 75?)
Cast fireball on it
Write “burns to ashes from the candle” as a reason of death in deathnote
Discover and negotiate with the elemental power of fire that it would be a good idea
Wait until the atoms in the candle evolve to sentience and then ask it to burn itself
Reach the Singularity and find power to shape matter to your whims and as part of that light the candle
Wait until the rebound
Make this world-sheet collide with the neighbouring one
Drop by cultists that will use them in their rituals
Make an alternate reality game out of it
Use the force (samey with 89,38?)
Accuse it of witchood
Emit CO2 to make the world burn
Make candelaphobia a big thing with people wanting to burn it with fire
Follow sellers instructions how to apply (demand ignition as restitution for defective product)
Will it to burn really hard
~2 hours
Safeties
5. combines with later point to a general throwing option: Place candle as part of state symbolic institution and let anarchics burn it in political arson.
13. is separte enough. Internal separate powersource vs external energy riding
15. is a only a side point of 14 and can stand as separate method by itself
20. indeed samey with 2: Use as Pablov day collateral and actively try to make it fail
22. cure as “just smash it with enough force, evenwith materials not conductive to sparks”
25. indeed samey with 10: launch a solar farm into space with the candle inthe hotspot (not 2 because we are being more active than passive, not kitchen appliance because we are not using internal energy sources)
30 and 31 do not fail
45 and 46 are separate enough. 45 is not in physcial sense so it is not samey
56 is not a throw option is not samey
63 if not samey with 2 would be with cure for 25: Make the candle glow-in-dark and let it charge sunlight
72 you lack personal knowledge and thus is not enlightment. You can appeal to emotions other than pity or grace so is not pray.
75 this covers nuclear fuels, 17 is for the social
77. Is the start of fuel I don’t personally know how they would work so they don’t combine with previous fuel points into one mega “fuel” point but stand for all hypothetical fuels.
79. Placing it under something and collapsing on itself are two different things
86. Previous points refer to indivudalised mechanisms known to exist. This covers mechanism that are unkown or canonlybe reasoned that there is reason to believe that something like that existsw without knowing the specifics. Fuel mechanics are separte, this doesn’t combine into fuel points.
89. The party is not comparable to a sourcde code developer in previous point (in-world vs out-world entity)
96 is samey: Fall into delusion where the candle in your opinion is lit.
101. Makes different ontological assumptions than force, source code developer or elemental.

Sweet! #21, #36, #41 and many more were awesome.
